De-activation / removing of workflows

Definitely wouldn't suggest removing them. 6 years in accounting terms is
short, well below many archiving retention times.
So if your auditor needs to see an approval of a PO from 4 years ago the
old WF definition is required to display the archived WF log.

I don't see any issue with having the unused WFs just harmlessly existing.
You could mark them as obsolete and add a visual indicator into the name
and/or abbreviation.

Cheers,
Mike
